  • Governor's Advisory Commission on Postsecondary Education
    Governor’s Advisory Commission on Postsecondary Education: REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS November 14, 2012 Letter from the Commission Pennsylvania has long been recognized for offering abundant and diverse opportunities for postsecondary education. Our tremendous asset includes the universities of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, the state-related universities, the community colleges, private colleges and universities, research and graduate institutions, adult education and family literacy providers, private licensed schools, proprietary institutions, specialized associate degree-granting institutions and business, trade, and technical schools that offer vocational programs. The Governor‘s charge was to create a multi-year framework that would sustain and enhance the commonwealth‘s postsecondary education system, while serving the needs of students and employers for the 21st century. During the course of our discussions, we pondered questions such as: What types of collaborations will be needed within the next 5-10 years to meet Pennsylvania‘s labor demands, to achieve sector efficiencies and to increase accessibility and affordability for all users? What role should government and state policymakers play in helping achieve these goals? What best practices exist regionally, nationally and globally that could be held as standards for replication? What strategies would be needed to overcome potential barriers that could stand in the way of making these changes? We deliberated as a commission and listened to members of the public and expert speakers from all regions of the commonwealth. We clearly heard the call for businesses, government and education providers to collectively meet the needs of lifelong learners, increase student readiness, improve business/education partnerships, provide greater accountability to commonwealth taxpayers and users of the system, increase flexibility in delivery and provide strategic financial investments based on performance.

Maxine Bruhns A fresco depicting Ciurlionis’ famous paint- ing The Two Kings portrays the reverence Lithuanians have for their villages. This mu- ral sets the tone for a room that pays tribute to the symbolism and love of nature and home reflected in Lithuanian folk art. The door bears a carved rosette, symbol of fire. Above, a stylized sun between two horses’ heads represents light and sound be- lieved to ward off evil spirits. The white oak molding of intersecting scallops resembles decorations found on farm granaries, or klei- tis. Names of famous Lithuanians are carved Two Kings on the frieze above the blackboard. The wall linen is woven in a design called “The Path of the Birds,” framed by white oak and rare bog oak. Black or bog oak acquires its deep hue while submerged in a marshy bog for decades. Farmers thus preserve prime trees to make furniture pieces that are treasured as heirlooms. The professor’s chair is of bog oak. The desk is modeled after a household table, and the lectern incorporates details of a spinning wheel spindle. Stu- dent chairs are carved with a design found on household utensils. On the ra- diator enclosure, perforated with a design of wild rue leaves, stands a sculp- ture of the “School of Sorrows” depicting a mother teaching her son the for- bidden Lithuanian language.
